We will soon ascertain how much power a judge really possesses in this enlightened country and age. If n judge may throw a citizen into prison lime he feels that his dignity is assailed we are not free- men but slaves, and the most work the next legislature has before it is to strip these of their unnatural and bridled power.

About two weeks ago a man named Henry Neill went to the home of a highly respected white man during his absence and made improper proposals to his wife. The next night ten middle-aged, cool headed, determined men took the and gave him such a whipping as only men of this kind could administer to a for an insult to a white woman. After they had plied the whip until the guilty wretch was a quivering bundle of pains they told him to get. He got. They then quietly said goodbye to one another and went home to their families.

It i- like Something good is coming out o the efforts of the retail associations in this state. The as- railways, an organization composed of the Southern Hallway, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea- board Air Line, had proposed an increase in freight rates on staple goods in less than car lots, the rate to go in effect July 1st. A storm of protest was raised against the proposed advance in freight rates, this protest coming chiefly through the retail associations, and the is result the railroads have postponed the idea indefinitely. This is one instance that shows what can be accomplished through organ- and concert of action. Other things could as easily be brought about.

If an individual so behaves us to merit the contempt of the court, let him be arrested just is any other violator of the law, the proper process served upon him, and tried by a regular jury.
